    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    ^^^^ Absolutely this. Simplified THLR for the 3-18 crossover. The reticle should be 100% functional for shots from 20 yards to 800 in good and poor light. Post bold enough to clearly see at 3x in low light, spaced close enough to bracket vitals. Many of today’s reticle have 10 mils of windage...

    What’s in a screen name

    When I arrived at my first Army Aviation assignment as a W1, my company commander gave me the Hollywood call sign “Hondo.” I knew Hondo was a cool John Wayne character and as a W1 you could be called much worse things, so who was I to argue? It was later in my career when I started...

    Firearms Sig Cross PRS w/ New Unfired IBI BARREL

    Sig Cross PRS 6.5 Creedmoor 63 rounds through the factory tube before ordering a new barrel in 6.5 creedmoor from IBI. IBI barrel is brand new and unfired. Specs are in pictures. Street price on these seems to be $2500 and the Barrel was about $650. I’m asking $2000. I’d also trade for a...

    What Am I doing Wrong

    Two possibilities come to mind. Bullet is seated too long and engaging the lands before bolt will close or you have a tight necked chamber and the case necks are too thick to chamber with a bullet seated. From your pics, it doesn’t look like the first. John

    Horse Power, Track Shit, Torque, Cubic Inches, Liters, Run What Ya Brung, Auto or Cycle

    My wife bought a new Ford Ranger Raptor. Ford Performance came out with a tune that bumps the HP to 455 and the torque to 536 ft/lbs. It’s about the most fun you can have with your clothes on… John

    Precision 6.5 CM - What would you change about my process?

    My process. YMMV: 1. Use good components. Alpha Munitions or Lapua brass. 2. Deprime cases using dedicated decapping die. I use a Lee. It works fine. 3. Wet tumble with stainless pins. I want perfectly clean brass going into my dies. Also cleans primer pockets to like new. May not...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRHS2 vs DMR3

    I have the LRHS2 and the DMR II Pro, the predecessor to the DMR III. Glass on both is very nice. Not ZCo nice, but for the $ very nice. And yes, the glass on the LRHS2 is nicer than the 1st gen models. John

    .308 Winchester

    Aero Precision Solus Hunter rebarreled by Jon Beanland with a 20” 1:10 twist Bartlein 3b. .308s are just so eager to please. I ordered some Berger 168gr Classic Hunters to try, as I had very good results from them in a previous .308. Also picked up a jug of N150. It is much more affordable than...

    Aero Precision Customer Support

    Does anyone know how to talk to a live customer support person at Aero Precision? Aero Precision charged my card two weeks ago for an order I placed by phone. I have not received my order, or verification of that order other than seeing a charge against my card. I have spent, literally, hours...

    22GT load data

    I have some Varget and N150 but haven’t tried them with the 68gr HHTs yet. When shooting 77gr TMKs, Varget pressured out at a significantly lower velocity than H4350. John

    22GT load data

    So, I loaded up five 68gr Hammer HHTs for the .22GT. One charge each from 38.4 to 40gr H4350 in .4gr increments, in order to find max pressure. Only made it through the first three rounds before getting ejector marks. But they are smokin’ fast and those three rounds with three different charges...
